100k Milestone for Northern Rivers Community Groups
75 community groups across the Northern Rivers have benefited from $100,000 of contributions from the Greater Northern Rivers Community Funding Program.
Thanks a Mil
We're celebrating our customers and local community for making our regions greater.
In the past 7 years, we've given away $1 million across 7 regions to over 770 organisations.
We’re not only proud of the milestone but also the small role we’ve played in helping these organisations make a positive difference in the local community.
So ‘Thanks a mil’ to the hardworking volunteers who run the sports clubs, food pantries, and photography groups; to those who coach the teams, look after abandoned animals, and make the costumes for performances; and to those who raise money for the local school, to restore the community hall, or provide vital help to the elderly, the isolated and people battling illness.
These are the people who make our communities thrive, building camaraderie and cohesion in difficult circumstances, and getting involved when something needs doing.

Greater funding for our communities
Every month, we give away $23,000 in funding to the communities we call home.
Our Community Funding Programs
It all started with an idea. We've always helped the communities we call home grow, so in 2016 we decided to empower locals and let them decide where our funding could have the greatest impact.
Since then, we've given away $1 million dollars to 770+ organisations across 7 regions - Central Coast, Central West, Gold Coast, the Illawarra, Mid North Coast, New England and Northern Rivers.
It’s something we’re incredibly proud of and our way of saying ‘Thanks a Mil’ to those groups and people making our communities even greater.
